4. General comments regarding adjustment of gov-

ernors and AVRs
4.1 DEIF PI step regulators
PI step regulator is a commonly used regulator for speed control. Also when interfacing to an electronic gov-
ernor/AVR without capability for binary inputs. In this case an electronic potentiometer type EPQ96 or
EPN-110DN is used to convert the relay outputs from PI step regulator into an analogue signal which can be
used by the governor/AVR.
Usually, the most accepted signals are voltage signals.

Interfacing DEIF equipment, application Commissioning
notes 4189340670 UK
5. Commissioning
5.1 The prime mover and generator
The prime mover can be diesel engine, gas engine, gas turbine or steam turbine. The type of prime mover is
unimportant. The generator must be a synchronous generator with adjustable Automatic Voltage Regulator
(AVR).
5.2 Speed droop on speed governor

The speed governor is recommended to have a speed droop of 3-4% (speed dropping 3-4% from no load
to full load when the DEIF equipment is not in control). To ensure equal load sharing on parallel running ma-
chines, all governors must have the same droop setting.
Since the DEIF units all contain frequency as well as power control facilities and use these for
control simultaneously, the resulting system will be isochronous (without speed droop), even
though the governors are adjusted with droop.
Even though speed droop is recommended, the DEIF units AGC, AGC 200, BGC, PPU, PPM and
GPC can control isochronous speed governors (without droop) when using analogue/PWM/en-
gine communication output for speed control. Delomatic 3/4 and Uni-line always require droop.
5.3 Voltage droop on AVR

The AVR controls the generator voltage in a manner comparable to the speed governor controlling the prime
mover speed.
This means that the generator AVR must have a voltage droop of 3-4% (voltage dropping 3-4% from no
load to full load when the DEIF equipment has no control). To ensure equal VAr sharing on parallel running
generators, the voltage droop must be the same for all generators.
Since the DEIF units all have options for voltage as well as reactive power/power factor control
facilities and use these for control simultaneously, the resulting system, if the option is selec-
ted, will be with fixed voltage (without voltage droop) even though the AVRs are adjusted with
droop.
5.4 Initial setting of speed governor/AVR

5.4.1 With relay output(s) directly connected
● Disable the outputs from the DEIF controller(s).
● Run the generator with no load.
● Adjust the frequency (on the speed governor) to be base frequency (50 or 60 Hz) plus 50% of the droop
(4% droop means +2% = 1 Hz for 50 Hz).
● Adjust the generator voltage (on the AVR) to nominal voltage plus 50% of the voltage droop (4% voltage
droop means +2%).
5.4.2 With analogue output

The analogue output from Delomatic/PPU/PPM/GPC/AGC/BGC is +/-20 mA, which in most cases must be
converted into a voltage using a resistor across the terminals (250 Ω gives 5V DC at 20 mA).

notes 4189340670 UK
AGC 200 has no analogue outputs, so if needed, the IOM 200 series external IO module must be used.
As especially governors are sensitive to the external circuit impedance, it is essential that the initial settings of
speed governor/AVR are done with the analogue output connected, but disabled (electronic potentiometer:
Turn off the power supply; Delomatic: Set in SWBD mode; Multi-line: Set in MAN mode). If you fail to do this,
you may experience control problems later on. The only exception from this rule is the Woodward load sensor
(please see the chapter Woodward generator load sensor). After this, you adjust the frequency response:
● Run the generator with no load.

● Adjust the frequency (on the speed governor) to be base frequency (50 or 60 Hz) plus 50% of the droop
(4% droop means +2% = 1 Hz for 50 Hz).
● Adjust the generator voltage (on the AVR) to nominal voltage plus 50% of the voltage droop (4% voltage
droop means +2%).
● The output range from the DEIF unit must equal nominal frequency +/-2%.
After this, you can activate the AUTO input again.
5.4.3 With Multi-line 2 PPU/PPM/GPC/AGC PWM output for Caterpillar®

Since the PWM initial setting has an influence on the start-up speed of the engine, the first thing to do is to
set this (setting 2272 for Multi-line, 2662 for AGC/PPM):
● Make sure that the generator cannot start.

● Turn the PPU/PPM/GPC/AGC OFF and ON again (to make sure that the PWM output is reset).
● Start the generator (no load).
● Adjust setting 2272/2662 until the correct speed (and frequency) is achieved.
PWM output is not possible on an AGC 200.
5.5 Adjusting DEIF controllers

The first attempt is always an "I hope settings are OK". For this purpose, DEIF has with experience gained
over the years come to some initial settings, which may not be perfect but can be used to start the adjustment
of regulators/controllers.
Adjusting PI (Proportional Integral) step regulators (with relay outputs) and PID (Proportional Integral Differ-
ential) (with analogue outputs) controllers is not easy. The following is a shortcut, giving you an acceptable
result (maybe not perfect, but acceptable).
5.5.1 Delomatic/PPU/PPM/GPC/AGC/AGC 200/BGC

The equipment is delivered with a factory setting, which will be acceptable in 90% of the cases. Start the gen-
erator and test it. The worst thing that can happen is a generator trip, in which case a new attempt must be
made.
5.5.2 Analogue output PI

The analogue speed output can be used for engines with electronic governors.
Both Delomatic and PPU/PPM/GPC/AGC/AGC 200/BGC accept push-button inputs for manual speed control
and can be connected directly, even if manual running is required.
The analogue voltage output can be used for generators with electronic AVRs.

notes 4189340670 UK
Both Delomatic and PPU/PPM/GPC/AGC/AGC 200/BGC accept push-button inputs for manual voltage con-
trol and can be connected directly, even if manual running is required.
The output is +/-20 mA. For IOM 200 units, voltage can be chosen as well.
1. The integral time (the time to compensate for deviations from setpoint) should be as short as possible, but
to avoid hunting, the setting is recommended to give a fairly long integral time, so, as a beginning, the
integral time (Ki factor in Multi-line) can remain as factory setting.
2. The gain is now adjusted. Increase the value until the speed governor/AVR becomes unstable, and de-
crease until it stabilises again.
3. Repeat 2., but this time by lowering the integral time (increase Ki in Multi-line, decrease Tn in Delomatic)
until instability, and increase the integral time again until stability is reached.
4. The easiest way to test is to use (if possible) a load bank, applying "jumps" in generator load and thereby
testing the speed/AVR control.
5.5.3 Relay output PI step

Delomatic and Uni-line:
There are 2 settings: Time pulse, which is the shortest relay "ON" signal time.
Gain Kp, which is the amplification factor for the proportional part.
The shortest acceptable time pulse time is dependent on the reaction of the governor/AVR and connection
type. Slow reaction => long time pulse.
Multi-line:
Apart from the Kp (proportional gain) and Ki (integrator gain) there are settings for:
● Pulse width time (the output is a Pulse Width Modulated output).

● Shortest acceptable pulse ON length.
Electronic potentiometer:
If an electronic potentiometer is being used to convert the relay signals into analogue value, both the time
pulse and the gain factory setting can be used. In this case, the adjustments are easiest done on the elec-
tronic potentiometer, gain = a combination of ∆Uo (full scale output) and TIME (sec.). Higher ∆Uo/shorter
TIME = higher gain.
Direct connection to mechanical speed governor:

If the connection is directly onto a mechanical governor with pilot motor, it may be necessary to increase the
time pulse value. This depends on the mechanical characteristics of the governor system.
After finding the proper time pulse length, the gain Kp is adjusted. Increase the value until the speed be-
comes unstable, and decrease until it stabilises again.
Direct connection to AVR with binary voltage up/down inputs:

If the connection is directly onto binary inputs, it may be necessary to increase the time pulse value. This de-
pends on the characteristics of the AVR.
After finding the proper time pulse length, the gain Kp is adjusted. Increase the value until the voltage be-

notes 4189340670 UK
5.5.4 Resulting speed/voltage curve upon load change

The easiest way to test is to use (if possible) a load bank, applying "jumps" in generator load and thereby
testing the speed/voltage control.
The optimal result should look like this curve:
Freq./voltage
Freq./voltage
Nominal freq./voltage
Time
Load change
As it can be seen, 2-3 "overshoots" before stabilising after a sudden change are OK.
Gain too high:
Freq./voltage Freq./voltage
Time
Load change
If the gain is too high, the speed/voltage will not reach stability and the hunting may increase over time and
eventually cause a trip.

notes 4189340670 UK
Gain too low:
Freq./voltage
Freq./voltage
Time
Load change
If the gain is too low, the return to nominal takes too long time or may even never happen.
5.6 Adjusting Uni-line load sharers and synchronisers
There are 2 settings: Tn, which is the shortest relay signal "ON" time.
Xp, which is the amplification factor for the proportional part.
The shortest Tn is dependent on the reaction of the governor/AVR and connection type. Slow reaction => lon-
ger Tn.
As a beginning, place both potentiometers in centre position.
Electronic potentiometer:
If an electronic potentiometer is being used to convert the relay signals into analogue value, both the time
pulse and the gain potentiometer centre position can be used. In this case, the adjustments are done on the
electronic potentiometer, gain = a combination of ∆Uo (full scale output) and TIME (sec.). Increase ∆Uo/de-
crease TIME = increase gain.
Direct connection to mechanical speed governor:

If the connection is directly onto a mechanical governor with pilot motor, it may be necessary to increase the
time pulse value. This depends on the mechanical characteristics of the governor system, but the shortest
possible time pulse value is preferable.
After finding the proper time pulse length, the gain Xp is adjusted. Increase the value until the speed be-
Direct connection to AVR with binary voltage up/down inputs:

If the connection is directly onto binary inputs, it may be necessary to increase the time pulse value. This de-
pends on the characteristics of the AVR. Slower reaction => longer time pulse.
After finding the proper time pulse length, the gain Kp is adjusted. Increase the value until the voltage be-

notes 4189340670 UK
On the Uni-line synchroniser FAS-115DG, the voltage control relay output settings are fixed
and cannot be adjusted. This is done under the assumption that the outputs are used for an
electronic AVR or an electronic potentiometer, where adjustments can be made.
5.6.1 Resulting speed/voltage curve upon load change

The easiest way to test is to use (if possible) a load bank, applying "jumps" in generator load and thereby
testing the speed/voltage control.
For resulting speed/voltage curves, please refer to the chapter "Resulting speed/voltage curve upon load
change".
As it can be seen, 2-3 "overshoots" before stabilising after a sudden change are OK. If more "overshoots" are
present, decrease the gain (increase TIME on the electronic potentiometer) and try again.

6. Governor interface basic circuits
The following contains indications of resistor values. These values are for guidance only, and
you may have to change the resistors to obtain proper control. Generally, choosing too big re-
sistors across the +/-20mA outputs from DEIF units will result in unstable control; choosing
too small resistors will result in the system being unable to control the generator in the full op-
erating range (0-100% load).
6.1 Direct analogue controls

The direct analogue control utilises the fact that most governors are prepared for external control devices
such as synchronisers and load sharers.

6.2 Combined analogue controls

The combined analogue control uses the combination of the DEIF unit’s analogue output and a speed setting
potentiometer.
The advantage of this solution is the possibility to do basic speed settings with the potentiometer and there-
after let the DEIF unit take over.
If the potentiometer is only used for initial adjustments, it can be replaced by fixed resistors,
once the adjustment is done.

7.1 Barber-Colman DYNA 1

DYNA I is intended for a potentiometer connected to terminal D (+8V DC), H (wiper) and F (+4V DC). When
moving the wiper towards terminal D, the speed increases. Both direct and combined control circuits can be
used:

7.3 Barber-Colman DYNA 8000 governor

DYNA 8000 is similar to DYNA I, i.e. it is intended for a remote potentiometer speed control - terminal 6 (+8V
DC), 7 (+4V DC), 9 (wiper) and 10 (0 V). When moving the wiper towards 6, the speed increases.

There are 2 possibilities:
1. Use the speed increase (term. 15)/decrease (term. 16) binary inputs and relay outputs from the DEIF
equipment. Inputs activate when connected to terminal 1 (+9…30V DC).
2. Replace the remote speed potentiometer.
The input is quite sensitive. Therefore the circuit is a bit special:

7.8 Cummins EFC governor

Cummins EFC governor accepts voltage signals directly, but the range is below the DEIF standard range.
Therefore a voltage drop resistor (500 kΩ) is needed. In the following, two sets of terminals are shown. This is
due to the fact that the EFC comes with two different terminal strip layouts.

7.10 Cummins Power Command Control (PCC) load sharing

system and Multi-line 2
Since the Multi-line 2 (ML-2) uses a 0…5V DC load sharing line, which is not compatible with the PCC load
sharing line, a conversion must be made.
As the same problem occurs with other manufacturers’ systems (Barber-Colman (BC)/Woodward/GAC),
Cummins has made an interface unit called "Isochronous Load Sharing (ILSI) kit", Cummins part no.
300-5456, which is the one to be used for ML-2 connection to PCC.
The load sharing is for power load sharing only, kVAr load sharing must be made using different units.
Following the Cummins instruction sheet C-604 11-01, the procedure is as follows:
1. The 100% kW ML-2 load share line voltage is 5V DC.

2. Power up the ILSI module by applying 12-24V DC on TB2 terminals 5 (gnd) and 6 (+). Do not connect the
load sharing lines yet.
3. Set the "Calibration Switch" to Cal.
4. Set the "ILS Type Switch" to BC.
5. Adjust the "Load Share Gain" potentiometer to 5V DC (measured on terminals TB1 1 (+) and 2 (-)).
6. Measure the "Calibration Voltage" on terminal TB2 5 (-) and "Calibration Voltage Test Point" (+). Typical
value is 2.10V DC.
7. Adjust the "PCC Matching Potentiometer" until "PCC Voltage" is equal to "Calibration Voltage" in 6)
(measured on terminals TB2 3 (+) and 4 (-)).
8. Move the "Calibration Switch" back to normal position.
It is important that the "Calibration Switch" is moved back to normal position before starting the generators.
Failure to do this will provoke reverse power trips.

notes 4189340670 UK
A higher voltage range can be used (200 Ω to give 4V DC). In this case the EMR frequency set-
ting must be checked to be 49-51 Hz.
7.13 GAC type ESD 5111, 5221 and 5131

G (gnd) M (aux.) 0Ω 500 Ω
7.15 GAC type ESD 5500

The output signal from EPQ/EPN must be set to give +2.5 V after power up.
For EPQ/EPN the "up" input will result in a decreasing speed, and the "down" input will result in an increasing
speed.
For Delomatic/Multi-line the output signal must be set to give -10.0 mA on power up. Since the connections
are reversed, the ESD 5500 will see a +2.5V DC across the 250 Ω resistor, and increase/decrease will work
properly.
On the ESD 5500, terminal J can be used instead of N. The J input has a lower impedance (5
kΩ) than N (1 MΩ). The G terminal on the ESD 5500 is connected to battery -.

7.30 Woodward generator load sensor

The Woodward generator load sensor (using a Pulse Width Modulated signal for the governor) is intended for
a 3-pole potentiometer.
Due to the internal circuits, the standard DEIF way of doing the connections cannot be used. Instead of con-
necting the outputs from the DEIF units to one side of the potentiometer and the wiper input, connections
must be made for ground and wiper. Because of this the usual way of initial setting by switching off the DEIF
unit during initial governor adjustment cannot be used. The DEIF unit must be switched ON and the output
adjusted to 0V DC when adjusting the governor. After this, the normal procedure can be carried out. Please
also note that the output is "inverted"; connect the + output from the DEIF unit to the gnd on the load sensor.
This is possible due to the fact that the DEIF unit’s output is galvanically separated from the rest of the unit.

The following contains indications of resistor values. These values are for guidance only, and
you may have to change the resistors to obtain proper control. Generally, choosing too big re-
sistors across the +/-20 mA outputs from DEIF units will result in unstable control; choosing
too small resistors will result in the system being unable to control the generator in the full op-
erating range (maintaining voltage in the 0-100% load range).

10. AVR interfaces
This chapter refers to the chapter 8 diagrams for terminals and resistor values unless other-
wise stated.
10.1 AVK Cosimat AVR

This applies for all types of the AVK COSIMAT:
The COSIMAT has an auxiliary input for external equipment, which accepts 0…10V DC signals. As the input
only accepts positive signals, a diode is needed to prevent negative signals:

M/m (-)
Adjustment:
● The R4 potmeter in the COSIMAT (18-turn) must be adjusted to "min.".

● Use manual control to raise the DEIF equipment to +10V DC.
● Start the generator and use R4 to set the max. allowable voltage.
● Adjust the integration time of the DEIF equipment if needed.

10.3 Basler Electric digital excitation control system (DECS)

The DECS accepts binary inputs directly on terminals 6D (lower voltage), 7 (common) and 6U (increase volt-
age).
To increase voltage: Connect 6U to 7.
To decrease voltage: Connect 6D to 7.
Also analogue signals can be used (+/-10V DC or 4-20 mA range):

7 (+) 6 175 Ω 150 Ω
10.5 Basler Electric SSR 32-12, 63-12, 125-12 AVR

The SSR series works in an "inversed" way, meaning that the standard DEIF way cannot be used.
The input used is the "ext. adj.".
The diode mounted in the connection prevents positive voltages from being sent to the SSR unit. As both
EPQ/EPN and Delomatic/PPU/GPC/AGC/BGC are using bipolar galvanically separated outputs, this is not a
problem.
When adjusting the generator voltage initially, adjust the (internal) idle voltage to 25% above nominal. The
DEIF units will then bring the voltage down to nominal level when activated:

10.11 Leroy Somer type R610 AVR

As a standard, R610 is not equipped with external control possibilities. There is, however, an option for both
potentiometer and binary control of voltage/reactive power/cos φ control.
We recommend using "Digital pot U/P.F. Optional Card". When this card is fitted, terminals 35, 36 and 37 are
used as follows:
